You missed an item. How about

My premiums haven't been affected but I hate Obama so much that I will lie and say they are up.

I'm sure quite a few in here are taking that tact.

How about "My premiums have gone up, but I love Obama so much that I will lie and say that they are lower."

Oh - that never happens, right?

How about I can't think for myself so if Rush Limbaugh says rates will be higher next year than that is how I will vote.

You know about that one

Spoken like an arrogant liberal. You think people can't read the amount they are paying now that open enrollments are going on? You think they don't know they're getting screwed?

Not even Obama, the "Emperor's New Clothes" type of leader he is, can convince everybody that they are not getting hosed.

Stick a fork in the Democrats - they are done. They just don't all know it yet - but some do.

But they will learn, soon enough:

From the Washington Post - not exactly a conservative publication.

The Post isn't, but they do publish right wing Op-Ed pieces like this..

mine didn't change from last year. so, it's not about the same, it's the same.

but i didn't expect it to change. company i work for is in 14 states, and should have a pretty good group rating.

I probably did. And they should have been done. Many conservatives knew this disaster was coming. Now the proof is here. So this time the American voter will have more than speculation to go on. They know they are getting screwed out of hundreds of dollars more every month ostensibly for things like less coverage where they need it (increased deductables) combined with coverage they don't need (older people carrying coverage for childbirth).

Obama saying things similar to "Who are you going to believe - me, or your own lying eyes?" ain't going to help.

This time will be different. Get out the popcorn and watch the Democrat train wreck. They should put it on pay-per-view.

again, knowing the republican train and who is driving it, it won't happen. if it does, it won't be any better. just a different place your money will go to, but either way, it will get spent.

Don't know yet, but I don't think I will be affected much. On Medicare and, as part of my government pension, on the Empire Plan in NY. I pay around 30% of the premium, and NY pays 70%. I haven't seen a change to my share yet.
